I just thought I'd pass this along for anyone that is running 6 volt worklights, I found a PAR36 bulb that's LED and fits the 4 1/2" N series worklight. I'm not affiliated with this company - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...t_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a 9N with a snowblower. The worklight is handy to use as a backup light while snowblowing at night but my 9N generator doesn't have enough output current to run the worklight continuously along with the headlights and tail light so I looked around to see if there was something I could use continuous duty that was lower power. There isn't much out there for 6 Volt LEDs but I did come across this one. I bench tested it before installing it, at 6.4 volts it draws .95 amps which is 6W. Much less than the 30W 4511 bulb I was using. It also has a wider beam which is what I wanted for driving in reverse. It will also work for you guys running 12 volt systems since the input voltage is 6 - 30 volts. The bulb isn't polarity specific either.
